KMYI (94.1 MHz, Star 94.1) is a commercial FM radio station in San Diego, California. KMYI airs a hot adult contemporary music format branded as Star 94.1. The station is owned by iHeartMedia. Its studios are located in San Diego's Kearny Mesa neighborhood on the northeast side, and the transmitter is located in La Jolla. It broadcasts from the KGTV Tower, shared with several other San Diego FM stations and Channel 10 KGTV.
KMYI broadcasts in HD. It carries the news/talk programming of sister station KOGO on its HD2 channel.
The station signed on in 1949 using the call sign KFSD-FM and simulcasting AM 600 KFSD (now KOGO). It carried the AM station's format of Middle of the Road music with news and personalities. As one of the earliest FM stations in Southern California, it was originally powered at 100,000 watts, and even today has more power (77,000 watts) than most of its rivals, which normally are limited to 50,000 watts. As FM radios became more available, especially among the affluent and audiophiles, KFSD-FM adopted a Classical music format in 1956, for which it was known for nearly four decades.
